SharePoint Online is offered as a collaboration and communications tool for organization’s Intranets. It offers the following types of functionality.

Collaboration

Portals

Search

Content Management

Business Process and Forms

In the standard version, we do not get all the functionality that we would if we implemented our own version of SharePoint on premise or if we subscribed to the Dedicated Version. Here’s a look at what we get and don’t get.

Search

Business Process and Forms

What we get:

Form Libraries

Custom no-code workflows

What we don’t get:

Custom workflows that are coded

Browser-based forms

SharePoint Server OOTB workflows

Customization Capabilities

Probably one of the most important questions we may have about using SharePoint Online is what can we customize. We can do customizations, but we are limited to customizing only what doesn’t require coding.

SharePoint Designer is the tool to use to customize our SharePoint Online site. With it we can:

Create no-code workflows

Modify and create master pages, page layouts

Create content types and taxonomy

Create custom site templates

Use the Data Form Web Part to create mashups of SharePoint data or other data brought in using Web Services

Create InfoPath Forms – no code allowed

If we are using Visual Studio to build custom web parts, features or workflows, then we don’t want SharePoint Online:

No in-line code is allowed, including code in InfoPath Forms or custom coded workflows

Can’t create features, site definitions, web parts, solutions – anything that requires something be installed and configured on the server.

we also can’t modify SharePoint files, web.config settings or security

No custom database modifications

No configuration changes that affect the web server or the .NET framework
